Just a guess, since nobody else has come in with the correct answer,
and I don't have these problems: your routing tables aren't set up
correctly.  Check with

  $ netstat -rn
  Routing tables

  Internet:
  Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
  127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0       17       lo0

The localhost entry should look exactly like that, with the exception
of the Refs and Use fields.

You can also try

  $ netscape -display unix:0

and see if that helps.
